sympathy with Dueling In Prussia

Yesterdays sitting Of the reichs,ag WAS
devoted TO discussion of dueling--a mat.
ter which occupies either the Pruss.au or
the Imperial Parliament every year, in
some form or other, with no other result
than to leave the question precisely where
it was.
Cabinet orders and other forms of legal
prohibition have been issued from time to
time within the last sixty years In Prussia
against the practice of ordeal by battle, lut
all these edicts have been invariably ad-
minis!ered with laxity amounting to posi-
tive indulgence. and there is still no sign
of an earnest desire Oh the part OF the gov
ernment to rescue them from the de suetude
in which they hav. so long lain.
Yesterdays discussion hinged on the
motion OF a clerical deputy TO insert q
clause in the criminal code against the
practice of So called American dueling, as
we'll as to beg the imperial government to
take steps toward suppressing the growing
practice Of du ling in the army and at the
Universities. But it was clear from the de-
bate that this proposal did not enjoy the
hearty sympathy Of the majority OF the
house, though it was referred TO select
committee for detailed consideration.
Perhaps the sense OF the majority was
best expressed by Herr van Puttkamer,
Prussian Minister Of the interior, who,
claiming to speak ms merely private
citizen, said that in the motion and the
resolution before the house be merely be-
held what would presumably prove IN un-
successful attempt to solve great problem
which past centuries had already vainly
tried to solve.--L0ad0a Times.
